<p>lets be realistic about the size of the greek population at pton - there are 3 soroities and around 7 frats… overall they have a combined population of around 90 people a year… </p>
<p>yes they throw parties, just like every other organizations on campus, from a capella groups to sport teams…</p>
<p>they in no way dictate campus social life, and instead provide a further outlet for a few kids who are looking for their own community to be part of…</p>
<p>the image of a frat boy at pton is NOT the same as one at any other school, such as UPenn or any UC school where they are very much prominent in the social scene. most sports teams do not join a frat/sorority, but rather bond within their own team. from the slightly nerdy kid in your chemistry class, to the drama girl or orchestra boy, all could be in the greek system.</p>
